[BLOCK71 Dinner Club: Off the Record with Sean Lam]

What does it take to build a business that tackles Singapore’s plastic waste problem while creating a positive impact on society?

Join us for a dinner with Sean Lam, Founder of Ecoworks and Philip Yeo Initiative Fellow. Sean is working to remove 10 million single-use plastic bottles from Singapore’s waste stream each year by encouraging consumers to choose refill solutions.

This is your chance to ask questions, hear Sean’s story, and get inspired to kickstart your own impact venture.
